ZM Trucks: First MFG Plant, New Regional HQ in Fontana, CA

ZM Trucks: First MFG Plant, New Regional HQ in Fontana, CA

ZM Trucks, North America’s newest zero-emissions commercial truck brand, proudly announces the establishment of its first North American manufacturing plant in Fontana, California. This significant milestone also marks the relocation of the company’s regional headquarters to the Fontana facility, solidifying its commitment to advancing sustainable transportation solutions in the United States. The 210,000-square-foot brand new facility will be capable of assembling up to 100,000 units per year.

The new Fontana manufacturing plant will serve as the cornerstone of ZO Motors’ U.S. operations through its subsidiary, ZM Trucks, supporting the production of a diverse range of zero-emission products. Initially, this will include electric commercial trucks, terminal tractors, and airport ground service equipment under the ZM Trucks brand. The state-of-the-art facility is expected to begin production in the first half of 2025.

“Our new Fontana facility reflects ZO Motors’ commitment to the U.S. market and sustainable innovation,” said Joost de Vries, CEO of ZO Motors. “This expansion allows us to deliver zero-emission solutions that lower total cost of ownership and drive long-term value for our customers.”

ZO Motors has already announced its cutting-edge manufacturing plant in Cambodia, which will be instrumental in supplying the Asian Pacific markets. The addition of the Fontana plant underscores the company’s strategic commitment to scaling its operations in regional markets and grow its global footprint.

The new regional headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fontana are expected to create significant job opportunities in the region while reinforcing ZO Motors’ mission to lead the transition to cleaner, more sustainable transportation solutions.
